I have a new eye prescription of -1.75 and -2.75. For general things – in the
house, even walking down the street – I don’t see too badly. If I need to see
well like at the cinema or driving I always wear my glasses. Now though it’s
like my worst eye gets strained without glasses.
I went into town today for some shopping, no glasses, and after a while my
eye felt really tired, I probably need them for shopping as I can’t see the
signs but I can’t understand why my eye actually hurts (dull ache). With
glasses it’s fine. My eyes are healthy so no other problems.

You may have been squinting your eyes in order to see clearly, that
would fatigue the muscles around the eye. The solution obviously is to
wear the glasses.

Fatigue the muscles may be nutrient dependent. Are some general
recommendations?

Is this strain a regular symptom of nearsightedness?

True pain, like headache, isn't typical.

But if it goes away with your glasses on, and your vision is single, clear
and comfortable with the glasses, then it probably isn't a brain tumor.
